About Mustabshira
Mustabshira Durrani is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with BACP registration and 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. Her approach is practical and compassionate, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.
She listens carefully to what matters most to each person and helps them see new options. Sessions are offered in English and are straightforward and down-to-earth.
How Mustabshira works
Mustabshira creates space for people to talk about painful memories and strong emotions without judgement. In therapy she helps people unpack patterns that get in the way of feeling better, such as attachment worries, fear of abandonment, control struggles, or problems with communication.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or pain, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of separation. Her work covers mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and loneliness. Mustabshira aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices about their lives.
She combines warmth and steady guidance to help clients build small, manageable changes. People meet by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit individual circumstances.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Mustabshira uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and recover from difficult experiences. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing painful reactions, helping people feel safer and more in control after trauma. Another approach concentrates on mood and anxiety symptoms by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to reduce worry and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different options and tailor the plan to personal needs, goals and preferences so the therapy fits how the person likes to work. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer a flexible way to reflect in writing or to connect between calls. These formats support accessibility and convenience while keeping focus on progress and practical steps.
